Chemical Interaction, Conductivity and Thermal Properties of Kappa Carrageenan Based Polymer Electrolytes

Abstract:

With the growth of green technology, the usage of biopolymer becomes important. The potential of kappa carrageenan as a host polymer consisting of different concentration of acetic acid was investigated in this study. The polymer electrolyte of kappa carrageenan was prepared by solution-casting technique. The attenuated reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy showed there are shifting of wavenumber that represents hydroxyl, sulphate and ether stretching which confirmed the formation of polymer- acetic acid complex. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed the highest conductivity achieved was 4.48 ×10^-7 S cm⁻¹ for kappa carrageenan incorporated with 5% acetic acid at room temperature and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that polymer electrolyte based on kappa carrageenan exhibited good thermal stability with a decomposition temperature higher than 200 °C. These indicate that kappa carrageenan display good thermal and conductivity properties which can be applied as a host polymer for solid polymer electrolyte application.
